Mushroom Glazed Pork Chops Recipe

5. Heat 12-inch (30 cm) ovenproof skillet on medium-high. Add oil to pan and swirl to coat bottom evenly. When oil shimmers and is almost smoking, add pork. Cook 1 to 2 minutes or until browned, then turn pork over and cook 2 minutes longer. Transfer to lower oven rack (Just keep going in the skillet. What’s with the oven?) Pork does need to be cooked properly but not cooked to death. An internal temp of 165 F. (74 C.) is good enough.
